Watch closely when Geoff does his famous growl near the end then Layne came back at him with his Geoff looks over at him, so funny. I love haw those two play off each other.

Props to Eli for the arrangement (with Layne), the background, and the wall he built for the set. Shot at the same studio as Valhalla Calling, but on a lesser scale... (and the ac was actually working this time). 😊

Eli is making his mark, bringing a whole new feel to their arrangements. Mind blowing.

This song was from our high school days (im the same age as Eli, Layne, and Geoff...and grew up in the same geographical area as them) Im guessing, much like Creep, its taking them back to their origins/favorite music growing up. Add in the videogame factor and it's a 🎯. I have no idea how they keep just getting better and leveling up. Love that Eli is also doing some arranging more often. He and Layne absolutely killed this. They all shone soooo well. Cesars entrance is just perfection to set the tone....and then the black hole of their talent swallows our brains!!

The fact Voiceplay would cover this song came as a big surprise but holy hell I loved it from the first 15 seconds. Ive been impatiently waiting for the public release so I could rave about it haha.

“My brain needs to catch its breath” - amen, young man, amen!

I'm only now finding you, sir, because I'm chasing VoicePlay, but YOU! Enjoyed your reaction so much. Will be catching up with your excellent videos.

He's got so many great reactions, but don't miss his reaction to VoicePlay's "Hoist the Colours." For a lot of us, it's our favorite reaction video. Dennis over at King Family even reacted to Qofy's reaction and then Brad reacted to that video, and it's just a fun little reaction rabbit hole to fall into. 😂

I discovered VoicePlay somewhere around the time their wicked medley came out(I think), so Hoist the Colours was a more recent release and it instantly caught my attention. Naturally, I went looking for reaction videos and found Qofy's. The rest is history, lol.

That's actually a cover of a song by Soundgarden from the 1990ies. I don't know whether it was also in a game lately. But it's a really cool cover of an already great song. But then, it's VoicePlay, so... their recent songs all were good, and so is this one.

It’s definitely Geoff, you can hear it better in the karaoke track and the video even focuses on him doing it during that part.

I loved the original back in the 90's, and I love Voiceplay's cover even more.

VoicePlay & Geoff Castellucci are in a class separate from normal reality : they’re really that incredibly complex. The whirling, echoing beginning makes me feel as though I’m getting sucked into it. Nice reaction. Each measure could be dissected for 20 minutes.

I remember when this song came out by Soundgarden. You should watch the original. I think this performance ranks up on top of the original. Geoff's ability to hit the low harmonics really gives this song the Royal Treatment!!!❤

Every time Eli and Anthony team up, expect something on another level. I went into this thinking it's impossible to pull off, but then I remembered "Nothing Else Matters" exists. Eli packed this song full of explosives and blew it into outer space. The nostalgia is real in this one. This song came out my Freshman year. I became a grunge girl thanks to Soundgarden. Loved your reaction, man. Great expressions, great insight.

It’s a very brilliant and complex a cappella cover (with some help of technical stuff)! Love it!! Anthony is always a great guest artist!! It did have a whole lot of stuff going on, but extremely amazing stuff!

Yes I had to listen twice as well 🇧🇷 Excellent 90’s rock cover ❤

The beginning and the end both feel like the chaos of getting caught in a black hole's pull. This is my new all time favorite! My brain continues to need to catch its breath everytime I listen. Love the reaction as always!

So glad you were able to break this down for us..as I didn’t know what I was hearing..except I knew it was Voice Play magic..☺️. There should be a law against putting Eli and Anthony together ..doing those amazing crazy riffs! Another great Voice Play reaction to add to your ever increasing list…🤩♥️‼️ P.S…the lights are cool 😎!

It’s Garjoola.😊

Strangely enough I like this now although I wasn’t sure at first and I always appreciate their amazing vocal talents

Agree-if you haven’t seen a Qofy reaction to a Voiceplay song, get busy! Start with Hoist the Colours, because.. well, you’ll see. The reaction is so funny that other reactors reacted to it. Time for a reboot, Qofy. We all had a system crash first time through. In case anybody was wondering that high note of Anthony’s was an Eb5, I think (could be 6-someone correct me if so, as I have trouble matching voices to a keyboard up there or down around octave 1). As always, superb reaction, Qofy!!

Personally, I like VoicePlay's version over SoundGarden's. I felt a great more variety and emotion in this from them. I especially loved Eli's energy - to the point where he even couldn't stay sitting at one point! In the original, the energy was more in the instruments than the voice. And Cesar's voice at the start was just gorgeous! One of my fave parts was the bit where they were singing 'black', 'hole', 'sun' as the background vocals - as if the words were 'ooo's or 'aah's. Kind of spattering along. Reminded me of raindrops, so cool with the rainy visual to go with the lyrics. As for the visuals - all the 'neon' reminded me of part of "BladeRunner" then add the rooftop setting to complete that idea of the CyberPunk ending of replicant Roy's 'death'. So cool! I admit that I'm not as fond of the distortion used on their voices, but really that is the part most true to the original, as there was a LOT of distortion on the bass in the instrumental section. After a few listens, I've gotten used to not hearing their voices as 'clear' and beautiful as usual. And now I really love how it gives us the sound from the instrumental part.

@Gael4ce

I’m not sure there was that much distortion on the bass. I think Layne may be doing an inhaled bass over done of Geoff’s notes.

@hwyla4416

2 ай бұрын

@@Gael4ce I meant the bass guitar in the original's use of distortion. Yes an inhale bass would be a very similar sound. However it is being done, VP is giving us that 'buzz' you get on SoundGarden's instrumental part.

Sometimes it takes me a few views to really like some of their videos (and one I still hardly ever listen to). But this one I loved from the first couple of opening phrases. Guess I’m more rock than I thought.

I was honestly concerned you were going to tip over your chair during the first time through (not that I blame you, I about fell off my couch!)! I love this song (the original, although not the music video so much, too creepy), but I am so impressed by this version, I may even like it better!

This scrambled my brainwaves as well. Your reaction was my first exposure. I haven't seen the "official" version yet. Plus, I don't know the game, so I don't have that reference point. This piece is VERY highly produced with over tracks and effects. I'll have to give this a few listens to warm up to it. I LIKE it, but it's too complicated for a single take. Great breakdown, QoFy!

Anthony’s last name is pronounced like “gar-jewel-a”. Because he’s a gem. 😉

It was written that way. :) "Regarding the song's lyrics, Cornell stated, "It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song." He also said that "lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally." In another interview he elaborated further, stating, "It's funny because hits are usually sort of congruent, sort of an identifiable lyric idea, and that song pretty much had none. The chorus lyric is kind of beautiful and easy to remember. Other than that, I sure didn't have an understanding of it after I wrote it. I was just sucked in by the music and I was painting a picture with the lyrics. There was no real idea to get across."
